COAT-SLEEVE.

Specification of Least. mn Aug. 31, 1.915,

Application filed September 29, 1914. Serial No. 864,023.

To all 1.0710122 it may concern: Be it known that I, ABRAHAM D. iono- MAN, a citizen of the United States, residlng in the city and county of Philadelphia, State the lining of the sleeve, whereby the hand of a companion may be introduced into the sleeve and through the lining so as to reach and grasp more closely the arm of the wearer of the coat, and comparatively uncontrolled take firm hold thereof, while the hand and wrist of the companion may be well covered within the coat sleeve.

The invention is satisfactorily illustrated in the accompanying drawing, but the important instrumentalities thereof may be varied, as long as they are included in the scope of the claim.

Figure 1 represents a side elevation of a coat sleeve partly cut-away embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a section thereof on line mm Fig. 1.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.

Referring to the drawings, 1 designates a coat sleeve which excepting the feature of my invention is of well known order. In the side of said sleeve is the longitudinally-extending primary slit 2 which forms an opening or inlet to the interior of the lining 3 of said sleeve, said inlet being entirely unobstructed to said lining 3. In said lining is the longitudinally-extending secondary slit 4 which latter is removed a short distance from the slit 2 and forms an inlet to the interior of the sleeve, said slits 4 and 2 being comparatively in the same planes in the sleeve and adapted to be in communication. The inlet 4 is formed along the line of the secured ends 5 of the lining by leaving portions of said ends unseamed in the direction from the shoulder to the wrist, the seaming of said ends terminating respectively at the top of the place of existence of said inlet 4, and then being continued from the bottom of the place of existence of said inlet downwardly, the top and bottom borders of the inlet being thereby closed, it being noticed that the two inlets are positioned in register with each other. The turned-in portions of the endsof the-lining at the inlet 4 form the hems for said inlet.

The operation is as follows: VVhen'a com panioii of the one wearing the sleeve is desirous of grasping the arm of the latter, he inserts his hand through the inlet 2 which opens sufficiently to allow the hand to enter the lining. Then the hand continues its motion inwardly to the inlet 4, when it successlyely passes through the same, opening it and entering the coat sleeve. By this provision the hand is enabled to reach the shirt sleeve of the wearer of the garment and so grasp the arm of said wearer and take firm hold thereof around the same so as to cling tightly thereto, while also avoiding slipping of the hand outwardly, it being noticed that the hand can shift up or down on the arm of the wearer between the coat sleeve and lining as the interior of the sleeve is unobstructed by the lining either above or below the respective inlets and furthermore the hand and the wrist of the companion are well covered by the sleeve, a feature of utility in cold weather. When the hand enters the inlet 2 it passes freely into the sleeve between the same and lining and would be stopped by the seam of the lining were it not for the slit or inlet 4 in the lining in the path of the hand, and so the latter may be pushed through said inlet 4 and thus occupy the lining within which it may have full circular passage so as to grasp the arm of the wearer to the greatest possible extent and take firm hold thereof without liability to slip therefrom, while the wrist is fully covered, a feature of importance in cold weather, it being noticed that there is no pocket as such in the sleeve, and no pocket as such in the lining, and yet the sleeve and lining provide separate compartments for the hand, first for it to enter the sleeve to a limited extent, and next to enter the lining to comparatively full extent from one side end of the lining to the other side end thereof. While the inlet 4 is in the seam of the ends of the lining, the latter excepting where the slit or inlet 4 exists, is secured to the sleeve as usual, and in no wise changes the construction of the sleeve or lining, excepting in the formation of said inlet 4, thus makingv an inexpensive and practical device for the purpose intended.

I am aware that it is not new to form a closed pocket in a sleeve, and to form a PQcket met j ijf lpyeit a all similar garment which is macie accesslb e from without, withqut opening the garment, but neither of these devices are of my eonstruction, nor do they possess the advantages. possessed and set for h by me as above.

Having thus describedtmy invention what 101mm as newhnd'desire" to secn eiby' Let;

teas Patent, is:-- 1

A coat sleeve having in its side an inlet ednpmd to lead to'the inter or' thereof,-and

seam in the lining and sleeve registering with each ether, the inlet in the lining belng formed iif hia jh ngli s. hidden inlet,

to lead to 1:310 interior thereof, sald lining having a longitudinally-extending securing;

or'thee'nds thereof," both of sand inlets 1 along the line of said seam. F
